Ghana will face Switzerland in a pre-World Cup friendly in Dubai, after Brazil thrashed the Black Stars by 3:0 before they won by a-lone goal against Nicaragua in an international friendlies last month.
Chris Hughton admits that Ghana is in a difficult group as the lowest-ranked side.
"It is difficult in a way. I’m confident in the squad and the coaching staff, but part of my role should be to be realistic. Not to dampen expectations, but to speak honestly.
"We are where we are, the lowest-seeded team in a group of four — and it’s a tough group. In my conversations with people, I encourage them not to get too carried away, but this is the World Cup. They [the federation] will be expecting us to do well. So will the country. It’s a cup competition and we have to be confident," he added.
